Robyn Smith - President/Publisher: rsmith@nvpublications.com Len Prazych - Vice President “For us, the significance of this deal is that it will be the first EVOL to be installed in France” said Bettini. “But it also reaffirms our excellent relationship with VPK Group, who are running Mitsubishi corrugators and converting lines throughout their businesses. This will be the eighth EVOL and the second MPF pre-feeder to be running in the VPK Group.” VPK-Viallon Adds MHI EVOL In France Giovanni Bettini, Sales Director of MHI EMEA, has con- firmed that the company has recently agreed to supply VPK-Viallon Emballage with an EVOL 100 high speed flexo folder gluer, complete with an MPF pre-feeder. The line is currently run at Viallon’s facility in Saint-Just-Malmont, France and was commissioned in early November. APackaging already creates a number of fully-recycla- ble packaging but acknowledges there’s still some way to go in providing more alternatives for customers who want to make sustainable choices. “Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do here at APackaging Group and it’s great to see that this is something that many other retailers and customers also care about,” Armin Arminak, EVP of R&D at APackaging Group said. “We think that our current range of product options goes a long way to meet the demands of these new trends, but we’re also excited to introduce more prod- ucts in the future that will give our customers even more alternatives to traditional cosmetics packaging.” Visit www.Apackaginggroup.com for more.
